In the last report by the National Audit Office, the NHS was short of staff by 50,000 places. The problem grows every year, as recent figures from the Nursing and Midwifery Council show that more nurses are leaving the workforce than are joining.

What the apprentices are saying

"At Barts Health I’m always learning new life skills, and I think having exposure to real life situations will make it easier for me to secure jobs in the long run. I never realised my capabilities before working at Barts Health and I feel so much more confident.

I’m so grateful to be taking part in the apprenticeship programme and have to pinch myself sometimes to remind myself that I’m working in a place that focuses on making a difference."

- Mehwish, 17, who secured an apprenticeship at Barts Health after work experience and pre-employment training with the Trust
